2. What is meant by Community?
A community is group of people who, in some cases
live in the same local area or people who share a
historical or cultural background.
What areas are there in the local area that are
'Community Spaces'?
There are actually a lot of local community spaces in
Baldock and Ashwell, there are a variety from a
community centre, library, parks, pubs and tennis
courts.
10. Why is it important to have space for
members of the community?
It is important to have space for the members of
the community to relax because events can be
held their and people can meet with family and
friends. It gives families and children a place to
play and teenagers need places to spend their
free time, which can help prevent crime. If
teenagers donât have a place to spend time they
have to find other places which may not be as
safe they should be.

been (e.g Parks, gardens, community
centres, youth clubs, outdoor gym areas, sensory
gardens) and what was the space like before?
